Objective:
to identify competencies related to health promotion targeting homebound older people, as they appear in the literature.

Results:
nine clinical trials were included. All health promotion competency domains were identified in the reviewed research interventions, performed with homebound older people.
Conclusion:
studies showed that the employed treatments were beneficial for the homebound older population. Interventions based on health promotion competencies were positively identified, and are linked to an effective and high-quality health care practice.
